Pros
4 day work weeks, 3 days off. As a permanent employee you are available to get the monthly bonus if no employee gets hurt that is. You get weekly paychecks on Friday.
Kontras
The pay rates for the conditions and hours expected to work are utterly horrible. Most people come in as temps and start out at $10.00 Once you get past the 1st year you only get a raise once a year and the pay increases are .35c. They have busy and slow seasons, when its slow your subjected to being sent home early. 40 hours are not always guaranteed. As far as the monthly bonus goes, If one person gets hurt you can kiss your bonus goodby even if its on your day off or if your on vacation. Nordic recently had a fire breakout due to a tractor trailers cooling system. The fire happened on a different dock than I work on and we lost our bonus behind that but the dock where the fire happened, they ended up getting their bonus for that month. Nordic continues to show its employees that they just do not care about us.
